run streak day 2225 - running every day

What's up my beautiful people!? Got to spend Memorial Day weekend training for the Western States 100 with their 3 day training camp! Was so awesome to cover 70 miles of the course with so many amazing runners. We're officially one week out from the race! Stay tuned for more!

Just qualified for Leadville off one of the other races, excited to run the 100 and hopeful you're fortunate with the training for yours

I offered a girl salts because she had a severe cramp during my 50k a few weeks ago - she ended up cruising by and finishing before me, but I was able to help her out, and it was awesome.

Nice! Love seeing you check the bread to see if it is vegan. Wishing you luck in WS 100 and love your positivity.

Awesome I have been addicted to watching videos about 100 miles runs. I so can’t wait to do my first. What type of vest are you wearing? I absorb all info you give. What type of gels do you take also? Your videos mean a lot.

Western states and Boston lately it’s been just a dream. The scenery is beautiful. Thanks for the video. I’ve always wondered how you can run these really long races and keep up a Running streak I’ve had friends are done running streaks nowhere near what you do but they keep every run right around 5-6 miles Well congratulations. Good luck on the race. You’re gonna knock it out. I pray you have a great day.

I found that I cannot look up during uphills because it is such a mental block when I see how steep it is. I’ve found when I put my head down and just focus on the steps in front of me I am able to cruise up without that feeling of discouragement.

Way to go Hellah! Can’t wait to watch you crush western states. Great video!

Really I'm right there with you - food and water & anything during a run always tastes better. Like a PB&J during an ultra is like the best thing in the world haha!

What is your workout plan/routine outside of running? How much do you lift weights or do other sports?

[cherelled]

Curious 🧐. . . . . . Once you have been in the water with your shoes on, do you continue with the wet squidgy shoes the rest of the run? Or do you have fresh shoes to change in to at the check points?

Enjoy the experience and bring home the bling!

Very inspiring. I wonder how much $ is needed to run western state 100….entry fee, support crew, accommodations, food, hydration needs, etc?

Whats your favorite watch? I'm a Garmin 945 user. But are interested in the Coros, since they are so light. But need to be easy to upload to Strava. 😊🙌

Runner’s are some of the happiest people to be around 😅

Hey, Hellah! Nice to see you continuing your journey with sports. Unfortunately, I cannot do sports (I Ski and run) at least for 3 months after surgery and I feel like losing interest in it. Do you have any advice on how to keep tge mentality connected to it?
